Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Drift is the fifth album by Flotsam and Jetsam. It was released on April 25, 1995 and is the last of three albums the band had released on MCA Records.
Drift marked something of a departure from Flotsam and Jetsam's previous works. On this album, the band musically and lyrically incorporated some elements of industrial music, groove metal and alternative metal, almost completely abandoning their thrashier sound.
It was re-released on June 10, 2008 by Metal Mind Productions. This release is remastered with three bonus tracks and limited to 2000 copies. The re-release also contains new packaging and liner notes from the band members Eric A.K., Jason Ward and Ed Carlson.
User Album Review
Flotsam & Jetsam are beginning to sound a little tired on Drift, their fifth album. Nearly a decade after their debut, the band still sounds tight and their musical skills are quite impressive. Nevertheless, there is a distinct lack of new ideas. That in itself wouldn't be so bad but they haven't fashioned strong songs out of their trademark formula, which makes Drift interesting only to the band's most dedicated fans.
